Boards›[ARCHIVED] Player Recruitment

It's not 30 days... but I've made my point.

After 20+ days of posting for ANYONE to play ANY game. These forums have proven worthless.

Results: 1 Player: 1/10/2 KDA

That was the only game that was played and the only person who attempted to contact me and play them with anything more than a friend request.

RIOT MUST provide a better team recruitment method as these boards are unacceptable in every possible way. The client should be capable of bringing players together in a manner that's conducive to fair and friendly play. Nothing RIOT sponsored currently does this which forces players to play with random people whom have absolutely no business being queued together. There is no possible justification or excuse for not providing something for players to find other players and play games with them that is effective and efficient. Preferably, this system would be devoid of ranking and focus upon gameplay statistics and attitude. This would mean that elitist assholes who think their rank means anything wouldn't be capable of badmouthing and downing other players because they are new or placed in a lower rank.

Truly excited to see how RIOT fails at this system too.

I haven't had a problem finding people on this board, have had a problem with the people i find being toxic or in general shitty people though.

I play a bunch of normal games with my friends add me in game and we can play sometime. I'll play ranked/flex/norms but I haven't gotten the urge to play ranked on my main, plat 5.

Have you tried recruiting friends from games? I mean your mentality in this post would put me off from wanting to queue with you anyway. Perhaps, it's not Riot? I've usually gotten a lot of people inviting me to games whenever I make a board post about looking for a duo... Then again, support main here.

The main problem pretty much is that the posts fall really quickly. They need sub categories, because the players that might like what you post never get to see it. The only people that see it is whoever happened to be on the boards at the time. It is disappointing for a big company like riot to not be able to cater to players in a better way, especially for years, and having switched forums already, and having created a new client.

I would personally like to see custom games expanded much better though. Sort of like how Command and Conquer: Generals was. It was beautiful. Right now its just bot games that join and fall really quickly. After that its just weird custom games.

I would also like to have a team recruitment type thing in the client, more than on the boards. That way, literally every person who plays the game will have access to the resources, instead of it being hidden away on a website. I guarantee they would use it too.

Understand you're frustration but two things A. A lot of people post here so stuff falls quickly into deeper pages B. Why not just find someone who is posting that fits your schedule/elo/preference and join with them? The forum is a two way street so just try the other way :)

The only thing you proved was they don't want to play with you.... Play a game have a good time find some one you have fun with invite them to more games / add players from your games to friends invite them etc etc. There is plenty IN game that you can see to recruit and build a team while playing... it's a very VERY small percentage of the community that actually uses the boards.... so why invest time and resources in making a system outside the game that hardly anyone uses?

Here's the problem. 1.) like others have said, you're B2... I've noticed the majority of players on here are Bronze/Silver/low Gold. You have SOME Diamonds/Platinums. And 2.) not everyone uses boards. I use to try to use boards a lot to find a duo but everyone I found was looking for a duo to basically be carried. Went solo and been climbing ever since.

So do you always run around advertising when your teammates have unfortunate games?

How about your 3/9/1 game on jinx?

Or the game where you went 0/8/10 on teemo 'support'?

Or the 3/7/2 game on nocturne?

idk, man. You seem to be pretty negative.

With that attitude you won't get anyone that wants to play with you.
